Hi
I had the same problem. I found that if I ran system-config-bind and let the
gui open - it will not find the right files - and will create an initial set. At
that point I close the gui and now named.conf has been created. If you then edit
named.conf to your needs and run:
service named restart
Then it will work (though it cannot stop named and I think service named start
might not work, though re-start does.
Also I found it is then better to yum remove caching-nameserver once bind
is running to avoid conflicts.
